The Boss of the Body- Our Amazing Brain-Hinengaro Miharo!

On Thursday we hosted Ally Calder as part of our Neuroscience Inquiry. Her presentation ticked all the boxes, we found out new information about our brains and how they work. Finding experts in our community helps us make  links to real world learning and understanding. We have identified  the area we want to learn more about and will now begin our research!

The Learning centre

We are in awe of our new learning centre. It helps us to be creative learners and thinkers.
